When I open my bike closet I find that I have amassed a collection of jerseys from the decade since I fell back in love with cycling. I have kits from Primal, Voler, Hincapie, Capo, Black Bottom, Nalini, Pearl Izumi, Squadra, and Pactimo. They range from team kits for El Grupo and Team Cirrus, charity kits like The Look, Save a Life, American Diabetes Association and Ride for A Child with Tu Nidito, artistic and fun jerseys from GoLoco, event … Continue reading The Damion Alexander Team Cycling Jersey
Community Ride List July 2 – 8
The ride list is a little thin this week. Looks like many of the ride leaders are taking some hard earned vacations for Independence Day. As we do celebrate the birth of our Nation, I hope that you will take a second and reflect on how lucky we are to live in a nation that has so much freedom. I know this year with the presidential race that it is hard to appreciate the other half, but it is the … Continue reading Community Ride List July 2 – 8
Community Ride List June 25- July 1, 2016
Last Sunday hit a 20 year High in the Old Pueblo. However, it has not stopped people from riding both on the road and mountain Bikes. I find that a great way of dealing with the heat is to ride at 4:30AM. Finish before 9AM. Go to work for a few hours and do what people in Tucson have done for centuries during the heat of the day. Take a siesta! Tomorrow is a fun ride that benefits BICAS. It … Continue reading Community Ride List June 25- July 1, 2016
Telluride Bluegrass Festival
As soon as I get home I’ll get the photos posted from the Telluride Bluegrass Festival on this page. However, I really would rather play in Colorado, so it may be a week or so.
Community ride list June 11-18
In the last ride list I was so excited about the low temperatures, but said “of course, it will likely jump into a record high the following week with temps in the 120’s just to bring us back to reality.” Well, I was off by 8 degrees as we only hit 112. It was the second earliest it has hit 110 in history. I’m skipping past anything on global warming and heading for ideas of coping with the heat. I … Continue reading Community ride list June 11-18

Ride list May 28- June 3
Can you believe that we are at the end of May and still seeing temperatures in the 80’s. On a ride this week with a 5:30AM start I was actually feeling chilled. It looks like this trend is holding until next Friday. Of course, it will likely jump into a record high the following week with temps in the 120’s just to bring us back to reality. This weekend has a great challenge with the Triple Crown Challenge. Three Days, … Continue reading Ride list May 28- June 3
